what have i retained
Do you want to be the voice of everyone?”
Can I?
I think about all the people I haven’t come to understand and their many layers of suffering I might never encounter in my life, as well as their many layers of joy, and the times they move from joy to pain and back to joy and all the moments of weaknesses and epiphanies that string together this unplotted journey… and after all, how often, in these days that I’ve been practising in this little room, have I gone out to hear the cries and cheers of the everyday people? And how am I to sustain any sense of connectedness when I’m practising in here all alone?
I know many songs and I can sing all of them. But it’s impossible to be the voice of everyone! It would be arrogant and unreal. I only sing for myself. But the prospect of being heard gets me excited, and I find myself drowning in this ocean of vanity, yet somewhere in this swollen little body I have retained a corner of my heart that is sincere; I had retained this little corner from the time I was very little, to save me from drowning completely, and to give me a chance to save people who are just like me. Amy, solid lines win solid love. Let me help you as I help myself connect the dots. I have Confidence retained in here.
